The CMM’s computer converts the physical position to a digital location within the system’s multi-axis coordinate system. The cost, work envelope, accuracy and repeatability of these systems vary greatly; however, some CMMs can cost upwards of a million dollars and measure large parts to an...
As previously mentioned, gridlocks at the CMM are often caused by the sheer volume of work that has to be carried out by a limited number of qualified metrologists. CMM programming times also significantly lengthen inspections as the CMM has to be configured for each type of component or sub-...
ii). Data Collection: These sensors collect coordinates or images, which represent the geometry of the object. For example, a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) uses a probe to record the X, Y, and Z coordinates of points on an object. iii). Data Processing: The collected data is processe...
We have a large range of high speed optical CMMs for shop floor measurement of turbine blades, medical implants and similar parts. Our optical CMM allows for 3D inspection of all parts. Measurements include lengths, angles, diameters and spheres—just to name a few possibilities. These non-cont...
